More than $200 million in customer money is allegedly missing from the accounts of one of the largest, non-clearing, US futures commission merchants, PFG Best. That's according to regulators. The money was supposed to be in segregated customer accounts. Customers have been told their money is frozen. Does this sound oddly familiar? We will hear from two PFG Best customers, Christopher Olson and Mohamed Hawary.And there is evidence PFG Best may have been committing fraud with falsified statements for years, according to regulators. The FBI is investigating, the CFTC is alleging fraud, but why did regulators miss this? We'll talk about what this shortfall means for investor confidence when a regulated broker can get away with this undetected for years.

Max Keiser and co-host, Stacy Herbert, discuss bankers robbing Central Banks and governments because that's where the credit is and the modern Central Bank robbing banker uses his Tommy gun of choice - the derivative (along with the occasional 'accidental transfer'). In the second half of the show Max talks to Ellen Brown about the European Stability Mechanism as a permanent bailout fund for the rich. Source

This may be the most frightening article I have read in 2012 and that is saying a lot. Courtesy of an anonymous author posting at Gizmodo, we find out about the CIA’s latest investment, The Genia Photonics’ Picosecond Programmable Laser scanner. What’s that you ask? Well let’s go to some quotes from the article to find out.

Within the next year or two, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will instantly know everything about your body, clothes, and luggage with a new laser-based molecular scanner fired from 50 meters away. From traces of drugs or gun powder on your clothes to what you had for breakfast to the adrenaline level in your body—agents will be able to get any information they want without even touching you. And without you knowing it.

So not only can they scan everyone. They would be able to do it everywhere: the subway, a traffic light, sports events… everywhere.

By Francine McKenna:Explaining its $450 million settlement with U.S. and U.K. regulators, Barclays said it had "inadequate" controls
and "had not anticipated the increased risk around the Libor process."
Auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers has been negligent in its duties as well.

PwC agreed to the most minimal disclosure of Barclays' potential
settlement in the annual report released in March. Barclays "attempted
to manipulate and made false reports concerning both benchmark interest
rates to benefit the bank's derivatives trading positions by either
increasing its profits or minimizing its losses," according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. PricewaterhouseCoopers missed, or maybe looked the other way at conduct that was "regular and pervasive."

It what is now the largest criminal fraud settlement ever to come out of
the pharmaceutical industry, GlaxoSmithKline has pleaded guilty and
agreed to pay $1 billion in criminal fines and $2 billion in civil fines
following a nine-year federal investigation into its activities.According to U.S. federal investigators, GlaxoSmithKline (http://www.naturalnews.com/036416_GlaxoSmithKline_fraud_criminal_char...):

• Routinely bribed doctors with luxury vacations and paid speaking gigs• Fabricated drug safety data and lied to the FDA• Defrauded Medicare and Medicaid out of billions• Deceived regulators about the effectiveness of its drugs•
Relied on its deceptive practices to earn billions of dollars selling
potentially dangerous drugs to unsuspecting consumers and medical
patients

Central bankers try to influence rates directly and
indirectly EVERY day. That is their job. From the NYFED website this is
description of the monetary policy objective –

“the directive for implementation of U.S. monetary policy
from the FOMC to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York states that the
trading desk should “create conditions in reserve markets” that will
encourage fed funds to trade at a particular level. Fed open market
operations change the supply of reserve balances in the system, and by
affecting the supply of balances, the Fed can create upward or downward pressure on the fed funds rate.”

In a new book released today, June 9, 2012, called Spies Against Armageddon: Inside Israel’s Secret Wars,
by CBS News correspondent Dan Raviv and Haaretz reporter Yossi Melman, a
somewhat different version was laid out which contradicts the anonymous
statements of U.S. officials mentioned above.

According to Raviv and Melman, the operations were not carried out by Mossad-trained MEK terrorists as was previously asserted.

Instead, they claim that the operations are far too sensitive and thus are restricted solely to Israeli operatives.

“They [the Israelis] don’t farm out a mission that is that
sensitive,” Raviv said. Raviv alleges that these operations are so
sensitive that they actually require the Prime Minister of Israel,
Benjamin Netanyahu, to personally sign off on them.

“They might use dissidents for assistance or logistics
but not the hit itself. The methodology and training and use of
motorcycles is all out of the Mossad playbook. They wouldn’t trust
anybody else to do it,” he added in an interview with Fox News.

Waiting for the Godot Particle. This
civilisation's grand quest for ultimate meaning has taken a giant leap
towards its epic conclusion. In the latest prequel to humanity's journey
to inner-space, scientists at the CERN laboratory announce that they
have unlocked one of the key strands in the origin of Life, The Universe
and Everything: 42 years on from its coining, the Higgs Boson particle
has possibly been detected at the Large Hadron Collider. So what does it
all mean? How does it feel to meet our Massters? Is this the font of
all wisdom? Does it anti-matter that Scientists make use of 'ComicSans',
the font of all evil? Is anyone conCERNed about the MASS amount of
Higgslarious Pun-upmanship Colliding in the twittersphere? Join Robert
Foster as he takes a journalistic journey into this particular world,
and meets a colourful character, Professor Scott Ridley, a scientist
from CERN laboratories. Get your Boson! Source

Submitted by Tyler Durden:Remember when the entire segregated account fiasco was supposedly fixed
in the aftermath of the November 2011 MF Global bankruptcy, and where
regulators: the CFTC, the SEC, the CME, and anyone you asked, swore up
and down this would never happen again? Turns out that 7 months later,
the spirit of MFG has struck again, only this time with one letter switched: it is now known as PFG, as we suggested first 3 hours ago when we broke the story.
From the just filed affidavit by Lauren Brinati who is working with the
National Futures Association, which in turn has just filed notice
prohibiting PFGBest from operating further, and freezing all of its
accounts:

On or about June 29, 2012 PFG reported to NFA that it had
approximately $400 million in segregated funds, of which more than $225
million were purportedly on deposit at U.S. Bank

On or about July 9, 2012, NFA received information indicating that PFG's Chairman may have falsified bank records

On July 9, 2012, NFA made inquiry with US Bank and learned that rather
than the $225 million that PFG had reported as being on deposit at US
Bank just days earlier, PFG had only approximately $5 million on deposit
at U.S. Bank.

Translation: another $220 million segregated account pillage has just taken place, in the vein of none other than Jon Corzine and MF Global.

Bank of England Governor Paul Tucker faced UK lawmakers over the
Barclays LIBOR scandal today. He said that the memo documenting his 2008
phone call to Barclays' CEO about the manipulation of Libor was
misunderstood. Meanwhile, rumors circulate that the Barclays board may
be trying to separate bank's investment-banking business. The Sunday
Times reported the story, but it has been refuted in other press
reports, too. Simon Mikhailovich, Co-Managing Member, Eidesis Capital,
talks to us about the role derivatives play in the LIBOR scandal and in
enabling bad decisions at systemically dangerous banks.

Dear Reader

Are YOU Involved or Institutionalized? Our belief that the global economic crisis would persist and deepen is being vindicated and current events are now as clear as ever on the matter. Time for all of us to wake up, stand up and be counted or continue to lose all our liberties. Protect your homes and families. The sun will still rise but financial chaos and suffering due to the global fascist banksters' greed and corruption, slaughter due to the MIC's directed world wars in our name etc. is not pretty. We are feeling the effect on our society the size and like of which we have never known.

We are way past being surprised at the blanket suppression of this information by the BBC and main stream media propaganda machines. Information is clearly available elsewhere and unchallenged, accounts for a far more realistic rendition of what we have actually seen and what we continue to see develop, whilst the main stream news put out leaves many confused and bewildered, 99.9% of us wrong footed and the awakened indignant. As we can now see, the apparently 'soft fascist' powers that be aim to block these alternative avenues of information. Book up, "Long Live the Evolution."Feel free to kopimi. Angelo Agathangelou.

P.S. The MHRM, are calling out the constant misinformation disseminated by and maintain our open challenge especially to western radical feminists, to point out just one area where government in the UK, Europe or anywhere else in the English speaking world disadvantages women and girls when compared with men and boys, ...the wage disparity myth having long been debunked by serious academics and statisticians. So far this challenge has remained unanswered. Western feminism is obsolete.

George Orwell's Message: to everyone on the Internet

N.B.

These pages exist because we believe information from all perspectives should be aired, they do not necessarily reflect our views unless explicitly stated. We do not intend to cause offense, but we feel there is a need for such a shift in our society that to call it change rather than evolution would be an understatement. A velvet revolution towards living with reality for the individual, the family and society. A revolution towards living within our means and taking responsibility for ourselves, instead of mortgaging the future of our children to bloated leech faux democracy for the benefit of Ponzi 'banksters' and The Military Industrial Complex.
